#1089 - 2. Eternal life changes the race belt, and continues to forge swords! Suddenly, the fleet wa
An old man walked out from the crowd.
As the son of Yu Lao, he was already in his seventies.
Walking in front of Chen Hao, he respectfully bowed: "Marshal, let me speak for my father."
"My father dedicated his entire life to nuclear physics, and under your leadership, Hua Xia has reached such a height that my father's scientific research ability has no value to the country anymore."
Hua Xia has too many older generation scientists.
Chen Hao had only seen a small portion of them in the past few years.
The level of his research field was too high, and it did not cover all disciplines. Many scientists had no use for their talents in his projects.
For example, nuclear weapons!
Initially, he provided the nuclear isomeric weapon to fulfill Qian Lao's wish.
In fact…
In his national defense strategy, nuclear weapons had little value.
He wanted to use space-based particle beams to completely abolish nuclear weapons. Was there a need for further research?
From Yu Lao's perspective, the things he had researched for a lifetime were now worthless.
"Furthermore."
Yu Lao's son sighed: "Everyone has different perceptions. My father believes that since human lifespan has been 'designed' to be so long, there is no need to extend it further—Marshal, please don't be offended!"
"I understand."
Chen Hao recalled his conversation with the leader of Yunhe Star after taking it down.
The leader of Yunhe Star had abandoned his physical body.
Because life was too long, and many things became boring.
Fine wine and beautiful women?
Delicacies from land and sea?
Living for thousands of years, enjoying these every day, would still become dull.
But why did he abandon his physical body but not his life?
Because there was something that would never become boring.
Power!
But wasn't that just one person's opinion?
Some people believe that power will never be boring, so they choose to live forever.
Others, like Yu Lao, a national hero who dedicated his life to forging swords for the country, choose to age naturally and die when they realize they are no longer useful to the country.
But this was definitely not what Chen Hao wanted to see!
"Yu Lao…" He suddenly felt very sad.
"Marshal!"
Yu Lao's son held up a small storage device with both hands: "These are some things my father researched privately over the years. He thinks they are no longer valuable to the country, but… he still wants to give them to you."
Chen Hao was stunned.
Even if he thought it was useless to the country, he was still trying his best to do research, still… wanting to do something for the country.
This was the noble spirit of the older generation of scientists, wholeheartedly serving the country!
"…" Yu Lao was surprised.
"Think about it, when our scientific and technological civilization is countless times more advanced than before, and if human lifespan remains the same as before, then… how can we learn the vast amount of knowledge?"
When human civilization was at level 0.7, it took only a dozen years from elementary school to university to complete basic knowledge learning.
What about now?
Even learning basic knowledge takes much more time, let alone further scientific research?
If human lifespan remains the same as before…
Wouldn't you be old after learning the basic knowledge?
"People often say that hard work is important."
Chen Hao smiled wryly: "Hard work is only the foundation, talent is the most important. Any top scientist must have an intelligence far beyond ordinary people, and you are one of them, and even an outstanding one."
"Once upon a time, when Hua Xia had nothing, you were able to develop a hydrogen bomb."
"If the length of life is rewritten, with your intelligence, you can completely switch to a new track!"
"Nuclear physics is no longer useful?"
"Switch to space physics, quantum physics!"
"As long as you have enough time, you can still make a huge contribution to the country!"
"If you give up extending your life, it will be the country's greatest loss!"
Yu Lao was stunned.
He had dedicated most of his life to nuclear physics, becoming the hydrogen bomb father admired by the whole country.
But…
What if life span was not limited to a hundred years?
If he could live for hundreds of years, with his intelligence, he could switch tracks and still forge swords for the country, right?
"Marshal…" Yu Lao wanted to say something.
Suddenly!
Whether it was because of emotional excitement, or because the final moment had indeed arrived, his breath weakened at a visible speed.
"Quick… emergency!" Someone shouted urgently.
"No need."
Chen Hao directly took out a genetic medicine from his pocket.
Not only had he prepared the medicine in advance?
The injector was also ready.
Before he came, he had decided: to persuade Yu Lao as much as possible, and if he couldn't persuade him… give him an injection first and then persuade him slowly!
Wasn't he respecting Yu Lao's decision?
He didn't care!
He just wanted to make these national pillars who forged swords for the country live to be a thousand years old!
Was it enough to be admired after death?
Heroes should live!
Injection!
When it was less than a level 1 civilization, the 00019 gene formulation only managed to extend life by a mere few decades.
But now…
The level 6 civilization's genetic medicine not only greatly increased life span, but also took effect at an unimaginable speed!
The 00019 gene formulation took a while to rejuvenate.
It needed to wait for the body's metabolism to cycle.
It also needed to ingest energy.
What about now?
Even stars can change their orbits. The life science of a level 6 civilization has reached an incredible level, comparable to a miracle!
Visibly to the naked eye, Yu Lao's breath rapidly strengthened, and the skin covered with age spots on his hands and face peeled off at a visible speed, growing new skin—the whole person completed a brand new transformation at an astonishing speed.
When Chen Hao looked at this scene with a smile…
A deep red alarm signal appeared in the virtual vision in his sunglasses!
…
The universe is boundless and constantly expanding.
The central area has existed for billions of years, while the most marginal star fields may still be newly born worlds.
Once entering the destruction period, white holes that release chaotic energy do not randomly appear throughout the universe, but the central area bears the brunt—in short, the longer it is born, the earlier it is destroyed.
Conversely.
The closer to the edge of the universe, the later the destruction time will be delayed.
Throughout the alien universe, all higher civilizations above level 6 have already migrated to the edge area.
The stronger the technology, the farther the migration.
The farther, the safer.
Of course, this safety is only temporary. The entire universe has entered the destruction period, and the final doomsday is inevitable.
Whoosh!
A stream of light flashed past.
It was impossible to see what it was with the naked eye, but it was actually the Toad Clan's fleet.
The fleet departed from Yunhe Star, relying on the uprated warp drive to cross billions of light-years.
This distance was still not enough.
They had to continue flying.
Suddenly!
The near-vacuum state of the cosmic void seemed to become viscous in an instant.
The speed of the warship plummeted.
Before they could react to what was happening, the warp bubbles outside the warship shattered one after another, and the warship lost power and stopped.
At the same time.
The space where the entire fleet was located was wrapped in a huge spatial sphere, seemingly trapped within it.
Several much smaller warships appeared around them.
The opponent's warships were much fewer in number and significantly smaller in size, but their technological content was higher!
However, the opponent only restricted and trapped the Toad Clan fleet, without launching an attack.
Toad Clan Fleet.
Inside the flagship.
"It's not good… something happened!" A Toad Clan high-level exclaimed.
"I see it." Chen Hao frowned.
On Earth, just after giving Yu Lao the injection, Chen Hao received an alarm from the AI system and immediately took over the role himself.
